Table 3. Rate of ulceration in the gastric mucosa and percentage of inhibition of lesions in the stomach of rats fed with a high-fat-sugar and administered with indomethacin.
| Ulcer index (mm) | Percentage of inhibition of ulcers (%) | p (*) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | – | – | D × I |
| HFSD + Ind | 8 ± 0.40A* | 41 ± 0.95A* | D × I |
| HFSD + C. citrinus + Ind | 3 ± 0.34B | 71 ± 1.10B | D × I |
| Indomethacin | 14 ± 0.37A* | – | I |
| C. citrinus + Ind | 5 ± 0.37B | 67 ± 1.07B | I |
| Omeprazole + Ind | 5 ± 0.37B | 70 ± 1.07B | I |
Note:
Data shown as mean ± S.E.M. (ANOVA one-way followed by LSD test, values statistically different (A,B) among groups (*p < 0.05), n = 6). D, diet; I, indomethacin; D × I, Diet × indomethacin.
